it really grinds my gears
 
when you ask someone what they listen to, and they go "oh underground rap mostly, like you know strictly, mos def, kanye, common and talib".

um excuse me? underground whom?

THESE RAPPERS ARE NOT UNDERGROUND RAPPERS, they are conscious rappers (and this isn't even applicable to kanye anymore) yes, and they do rap about stuff you will not usually hear on the radio but you can ask anybody who they are and they'll tell you. thus making them not underground but conscious.

people are more familiar with underground, if someone asked me i'd say underground cuz if i said conscience they'd be like whats that mean -_-, even though everyone here has heard of mos, talib and common so you dont even have to say underground you could just say their names, but for other emcees that a lot dont know about i say underground

George Bush hates black people...

^ that was the most true shit to come of Kanyes mouth...and to say that on live TV on that Katrina aid thing...werd to him :thumbup:

that doesn't make him conscious.

a lot of mainstream rappers who aren't conscious can say fuck bush in their songs and no one makes a thing out of it, it was only cause of the timing that everyone hyped it up

well underground means dudes who are not normally heard by the comercial groups. underground is just another word for "local rap" but underground is also a style so it afflicts to both ways.

Nas, Talib, Mos Def, the list goes on and on, are all concious rappers from ny.. What are you talking about?

Common, Kanye and Lupe do not = only concious rappers

kanye is the better of the bunch but not he not underground

SerB 02-16-07 09:51 PM

yall are idiots.

I can't fucking understand most of you.

what you rap about doesn't make you underground.

underground means not popular, not known in the public. retards.


Underground and Mainstream -- those are the classes.

but yall act like your either Underground or commerical.
